Cannot convert type 'string' to 'System.DateTime'

Trying to do the following:

order.ExpirationDate =(DateTime) ( ExpMonth + "/" + ExpYear);

ExpMonth, Expyear are both ints.

Try creating a new DateTime using the constructor which takes month and year as parameters (it also takes a day, but you can default to 1) instead of casting a string, it's much cleaner and easier.

Try this:

DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse(ExpMonth + "/" + ExpYear, out dt))
{
   // success
}

You need to use:

DateTime.Parse(ExpMonth.ToString() + "/" + ExpYear.ToString());

This is going to be better for you:

order.ExpirationDate = new DateTime(ExpYear, ExpMonth, 1)
